Temporary three week SGN closure in St Michael's Road for gas main replacement

A temporary road closure will be in place in the middle of the city while SGN replaces the gas main.

SGN has been working over the past few weeks to replace the gas main between Cambridge Road roundabout and St Michaels Road in Portsmouth.

These works have been planned with urgency due to ongoing gas escapes on this section of the gas main.

To complete the final connections, from Thursday 6 March to Monday 31 March, SGN will need to temporarily close St Michael's Road northbound.placeholder image

Traffic heading northbound will be diverted westbound along Cambridge Road to the roundabout to then head back towards St Michael's Road.
